_________________________

Nova Blast is a side-scrolling sci-fi shooter in which you must defend four shielded cities from invaders that attack from both in the air and on the ground. Each city has a bubble shield that can sustain one hit; another hit to an unshielded city will destroy it.

Players control a ship that can fire lasers horizontally and drop bomb vertically. The ship is also equipped with an energy beam that can absorb energy from energy tanks, and can also use that energy to create temporary shields around unprotected cities. The ship can also sustain up to ten blows in each round. If all four cities are destroyed or the ship takes ten hits in a round, the game ends.

Nova Blast is a single player game with three difficulty levels.

Description from the packaging:

Arcade action: Thrilling classics of the arcade, with their compelling game play and graphics, have for the first time been enhanced for the power of the home computer. Test your reflexes and daring. Enter strange and fantastic worlds. Fly. Run. Shoot. It's a struggle to survive.
Red alert! The four Capsuled Cities of Water Planet Hydron are under fierce enemy attack! You must pilot Nova 1, the last of the Novon fleet, over turbulent seas. Blast Orion fighters, Gravitines and six other types or airborne aliens before they obliterate the cities or damage your ship.
Beam energy aboard as you need it. Reinforce existing shields or beam new ones onto cities as theirs collapse! Use the Surface Scanner to locate and destroy enemies. Bomb Water Walkers before their rockets reach you. Repel repeated assaults! If you don't, no one will... ever.
Game program and design by Wendell Brown.
